argued about!) when placing an Abbey tile to complete a city or road, if the Abbey tile contains no city or road 'space' as noted above in this thread. There are some questions we have discovered (i.e. That was everything I could think of - can anyone think of anything else? So, the sixth expansion is also confirmed, and it sounds to me like it should include The Cathars - cool! Q13: Can a follower be moved from Carcassonne City to a farm with a barn - and if so, how many points does a player earn (1 or 3)?Ī: Yes, that is allowed: the farmer will then be scored immediately, and so scores only 1 point per city and is (importantly) not on the farm during the final scoring proper. Q12: When an abbey tile is placed, can a follower be deployed next to the abbey (as a knight, for example), as it is possible to do with a cloister? Or does the whole tile count as the abbey and so only monks can be deployed to it?Ī: No, the abbey covers the whole tile. Q11: In the case of the tile with the well and three 'roads': do all the 'roads' have to be completed before scoring? We have to rule out various problems here… In this respect more is on its way - in the next expansion (really just a collection of the mini-expansions) there will also be 'places of worship' which have a close connection to cloisters. Q10: Can a knight in a besieged city escape via an abbey, or only via a cloister?Ī: Yes: the abbey has all the characteristics of a cloister. Q9: Can the mayor, the wagon, or the barn be placed on top of a tower?Ī: No, the deployment of these figures is limited to the features described in the rules. Q8: Does the pig-herd tile still score an extra point (barn = 4 points, barn+pig-herd = 5 points per city)?Ī: The pig-herd tile only counts in connection with farmers, not the barn. Q7: Does a player still score double points for a besieged city if it lies on a farm with a barn? Q6: Can the mayor, the wagon and the barn use a magic portal? Q5: Can the mayor and the wagon (or the barn) be placed in the appropriate quarter of Carcassonne City? Q4: Can the mayor and the wagon be eaten by the dragon, captured by the tower, or seduced by a princess?Ī: Also following question 1: Yes (at which point the question of what the princess does with the wagon arises…) Q3: Can the fairy be placed next to the barn and if so, does the player score a bonus point each turn and 3 extra points during scoring?Ī: Following question 1: No, because the barn is not a follower.

The dragon would eat the immediately and the tower is always on its own feature (the tower foundation). The fairy normally stands next to a follower (except when the follower is taken prisoner) and so the feature would already be occupied. Q2: According to the rules, 'no other figure' may be in same feature as the wagon - does that include the fairy, the dragon and tower pieces (because they're all figures)?Ī: We didn't pay enough attention here (damn!): instead of 'figure' it should read 'follower'. In principle all followers can be eaten or captured, while the special figures cannot. The barn is a special figure, although it can also be counted as a follower.Īs far as the wagon is concerned, I'm a little uncertain, but I'd nevertheless count it as a follower. The mayor is a follower, subject to the usual rules of deployment and affects the majority. Q1: What is the status of the mayor, the barn and the wagon? Are they followers or 'special figures' like the builder and the pig? So, I got a response from HiG this morning to a bunch of questions I asked, and here they are:
